ing on the slip, when a log twenty-four
feet long began to twist out of its course,
and gra sping pevy, he ordered the
engineer to reverse the chain while he
tried TO twist the log into its right chan
mel, but the heavy timber did not obey
the chain, and knocked young Mcbride
to the ground, distance of twenty-five
feet, where he fell face down, while the
timber followed, striking him in the
back just above the kidneys. He was
dead when picked up. and was taken to
Mueller d Spindle'S undertaking rooms,
where his body still lies awaiting news
from his mother or wife. His employers
speak most highly of him, as do his fell
low workmen.
The city council had long and very
warm session Tuesday evening, its
principal business, after the regular
routine work was done away with. being
the lighting of the streets by electricity.
Two companies presented bids and had
representatives present to lay before the
august body the merits of their respect
i've lights. Senator E.. w. Durant, in
behalf Of the Excelsior Electric Light
company, of this city, offered his bid,
agreeing to furnish twenty arc lights on
Main, Second and Third streets, and 10S
lights i'll the residence portion of the
city, each twenty-five candle power, at
the low price of $1,000, the CON
tract being for five years, or $50
arch lights for $4,000. Mr.. Wolsey
for his company offered to furnish 200
incandeScent lights at the nominal
figure of 1923 per light per year; also for
term of five years. After much de-
batting and Offering of resolutions, the
bid of the Saltwater company was ac-
cepted. This is subject of much COM
ment just at present, as many of the
citizens wished for arc lights, and also
wished to see home company get the
contract. The Saltwater corporation
has no plant here as yet, while the Ex-
celsior plant has been in operation three
years and large number of arc lights
are in use, which give perfect satisfac-
ton. The council could not finish all
the business and SO adjourned and met
again last night.s
